Bullied

I was bullied quite a bit in middle school. I didn't handle well. Mostly I just sought out fights "to get even" but they didn't help my popularity.
Really the only way to stop bullying is simply to man up and become strong. Fighting isn't the key I think, but rather showing a silent threat of force - which can just be becoming more strong physically, mentally.

Even women bully boyfriends, known as "testing". If that's ok in the relationship articles on the net, then why the condemnation of bullying? Fact is, plenty of people bully - like drill instructors, managers etc.. Again, the key is not reacting to it where you come across as weak. Always remember, people don't always say what they really mean.
However, I do think bullying can cross the line at points. When it gets too severe, then obviously laws/rules are going to be broken - and outside people will have to intervene.

I've been through that before in my marriage and in one other relationship. That's not just bullying. That's also sociopathic behavior. Sociopath's also resort to gas lighting when you stand up to them or don't give them what they want. So they tear you down and make you question your sanity and your ways. When in a relationship, they can be successful in pulling your emotional strings so that a lot of their mind games work. They're also for the most part unreliable both financially and emotionally in the relationship when it comes to long term. If you're with anyone remotely like that, I'd walk out on them if I were you. If there's one thing I've learned from my divorce, I can smell bullshit a mile away and I do not tolerate it from any woman. I don't care if she looks like a super model. I'll walk out on her faster than she can blink.
I was bullied in 7th grade. I hated going to school during that time. But the other girls that were responsible for bullying me moved away and the bullying stopped.
Bullies etc.. can have a sweet side. I mean, sociopaths, psychopaths' are people needing prayer I think. You're literally dealing the devil himself/herself.
Well, I'm saying there is a pure side to some of them, but it's just not all the time.

I wasn't bullied that much in school. My issues were more esoteric. I had ADD in elementary school, so that made it difficult to keep up with the work. Then, starting in middle school and getting orders of magnitude worse in high school, was my Bi-Polar disorder. I also suffer from extreme paranoia, anxiety, and clinical depression. I was eventually expelled in 11th grade after a nervous breakdown and what the school called "bizarre behavior".
I don't know if being bullied a lot would be worse or not.....

Seriously? Next you are going to tell me that the medication I take for my bi-polar isn't needed, and I just need to accept Jesus. No thanks. I'm an Atheist.
Everyone was bullied in my high school, you just grit your teeth and dealt with it.
That's a shame. I'm sorry....

oh I ignored them, pissed them off greatly as if I was punching them over and over. It was great.
Pretty hard to ignore it when you get physically assaulted.
Thankfully I was tol bold and assertive a child to be bullied in school but I stayed away from difficult children
I remember an incident during my school days when a group of girls looked at me from a distance and all giggled. Till today I do not know why they did it If that is not bullying what is?
